Weekend fun

Last weekend Alyssa and her boyfriend Joe came up and we went out on the boat. The water felt good because it was so hot! Trey tried wakeboarding! I am so proud of him!
After boating, Emily came over and we all went to the Cardinals game. It was really fun and the boys enjoyed themselves.
This Saturday we had a Black family party for the boys. It was also Macey's 1st party.
We went to Dan and Crystal's friends house because they have a pool. The boy's were in there most of the time of course. They did play a few rounds of basketball with the adults also.
They each wanted a different theme for their cake, so I just let them pick out sugar decorations and place them on.
Trey is still loving school and playing sports. He did a science experiment the first week that he was excited about. He is such a good brother. Coby looks up to him so much.
Coby is infatuated with all the Shrek movies. He watches a part of one at least once a day. Trey loved Monsters, Inc. and then Spiderman. At least he will still do flashcards and run errands with me during the day. He always wants to know when it will be time to pick up Trey.
I feel very blessed to be able to be at home with them! I still watch a little boy a couple days a week and my niece and nephew one morning. Probably a good thing because I might be out spending money all week! We bought a new comforter for our bed and I have been on a mad search for throw pillows.
Mark is on "loan" to United Way until December. I guess they don't really have to many actual employees, a lot of people are on loan from big companies in the valley. It has given him an appreciation of all we have. I am sure when you hear peoples struggles and visit homeless shelters that will have that effect on you. We want to try and volunteer our time more and hopefully this will give us more avenues to do so.
